A safe and aesthetic wooden staircase needs a well-done design

Interior staircases can be modern, traditional, classic, rustic, minimalist in design, but whatever the style, they are all at risk of injury. Staircase falls are present in all injury statistics. Children and the elderly are most at risk, but it can happen to anyone. That's why a staircase should be designed by specialists who know how to minimise the risks and know the regulations in force. A modern design allows the staircase to be visualised so that sensitive points can be identified before construction begins. Such a wooden staircase design service offers Dipproject by Dippanels. 6 years ago the online platform Dippanels.ro dedicated to the production and marketing of wooden interior stairs and their accessories. Dipproject was born out of accumulated experience and permanent information, a design service dedicated to professional ladder manufacturers.

Elements that can make the ladder safer

There are different ways of designing a staircase to give the customer not only great aesthetics but also safety in operation. Here are some of them:

The design must comply with all the rules in force in the legislation. The interior staircase is linked to the budget allocated for such work and the aesthetic requirements of the owners. The builder has to ensure that he can fit into the budget while respecting all the requirements related to operational safety. With the help of a well-done design, which allows the final result to be visualised, the safest option can be chosen which also satisfies the aesthetic requirements of the staircase.

The project must propose handrails that are primarily safe. The handrail should be positioned in such a way that it really helps. If the handrail is too high or too low, with the fastening system facing the inside of the step, or if it is not well fixed and rigid, it can be more of a hindrance than a help. Putting the client's proposals into a viewable design will make it much easier to see how suitable and secure they are. If the client is able to see the risks to the family they will be more likely to choose the safest option.

The project can propose different solutions to make the step and riser as visible and safe as possible. Avoiding steps in very dark or wall-identical colours, differentiating the step and riser by colour, adding texture and light sources strictly related to the staircase are just some of the ideas that can make a staircase safe and aesthetic at the same time.

At the design level, access doors can also be proposed at the top level in houses where there are small children to avoid them falling down the stairs or additional wall-mounted handrails where there are elderly people.

A professional design helps you to make a safe staircase for the customer

If you ask the end customer what the ladder should look like, not infrequently design will come before safety. For lack of information about risks or on the principle of it can't happen to me, safety rules are ignored and the spectacular design is chosen. Owners completely forget that the main purpose of a staircase is to get you safely from the a at the b. If the safety elements are correctly combined with the design elements, a safe and attractive staircase can result. That's what expert professional design does.

By choosing to outsource staircase design you will benefit from the services of specialists in this type of work who are up to date with all the regulations for staircase construction and who have the necessary experience in terms of risk factors. A modern design service can provide you with 3D or VR (virtual reality) models so you can see how safe the ladder is and what problems may occur when using it.

By presenting the project in such a format, the client will be able to see much more easily the risks to which he exposes his family by choosing a model that does not offer complete safety. You will thus succeed in building a safe staircase and it will be impossible for the beneficiary of the staircase not to notice and appreciate your professionalism.

Dipproject provides you with 3D and VR models for a professional presentation to the beneficiary

If you have a workshop and build custom wooden stairs, Dipproject provides you with such a professional design service based on the latest technology in interior staircase design. You will only need to make a few simple measurements based on a form that Dipproject makes it available. You will receive the project in 3D or VR format, following all the rules in force, so that the presentation to the client is professional and edifying.

In addition to these ways of presenting to the customer, Dipproject will also provide you with the templates for the ladder elements or the execution programs, depending on the equipment of your workshop. Those with classic woodworking machines will receive the templates in 1:1 scale. They will contain all the indications for further processing: drilling, milling, cutting. The template can be glued directly onto the wood panel so that cutting can be done without mistakes. You will get perfectly executed elements that will fit together seamlessly, resulting in a very secure staircase.

Workshops that have CNCs will receive the DXF files of the project with all related machining details. They will be transformed by the existing post-processor to obtain the final machined elements for a perfect scale match.

Dipproject designs interior wooden staircases following the building regulations in force so that, in the end, the staircase is very safe and easy to use, whether for adults, children or the elderly. To achieve such a staircase requires specialised calculations and a very good knowledge of the rules and regulations.
